Since Detroit is you local dma, either Eastern Arc or Western Arc will work for you. If you cannot tune 129 in to the expense of 110, I would disconnect the 129 lnb and use your 1000+ dish for just 110 and 119, also, you do not have any need for 61.5 (since only your locals are probably all you may be getting there, but they are also on 129). Most HD channels have been moved off 61.5 to 72, but 129 has all so I would use the 61.5 dish and repoint to 129.

Okay
After a couple months of low signal strength and easy Signal loss in either a windy day or a light rain
i spent the day modifying the set up
as per the advice above
i put my Dish that was at 61.5 moved it to 129 location
and have very strong signal strength
the type of dish is a Dish 1000...

With my dish 1000 plus
i also re aimed it to max signal strength
and re hooked up sat 118 just for Cookies n Milk

I like having 129 on a different Satellite cause then i can max out the signal on 110 sat on the 1000 plus and dont have to worry about spliting the value with 129 ...
